Got back late last night from Edmonton, where I had a wonderful time. I think Darren was set to run my feet off me, though we did try a variety of transportation modes. Bus, light rail transport, shuttle. Three different malls, lots of different parts of town, so much to see.
I have to say that Edmonton was much, much bigger than I had pictured it. If I was a big city person, it might have won me over. I am not a big city person, so we will have to see what happens when we look at Seattle’s surrounding area. We have been talking for months of when the children and I move to Washington state and just recently, Darren and I have come to the conclusion that when we move, he will also move. The distance is really hard on both of us and when we just need to be held, it’s impossible. When you want so badly to be with your loved one and can’t, so very painful.
I know it is not what we had originally decided and definitely, we are not just dating for a year and then letting go. I can understand why our mutual friends had concerns about us, what with the distance, but we definitely are commited to making this work for the foreseeable future. I thought of a million other things to put here earlier, when I was working, but I’m sitting here tired and none of it is coming to mind. For those of you we missed, so sorry. 
Next up, the Mickja is on his way here in July. Yay for his visit! Meanwhile, I have to get the dog to forgive me for being gone for five days.
